Update: September 2012
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark has announced favourable government incentives which help to reach country's goal of 200MW by 2020. 36MW is said to being installed every month.
Presented to the Folketing, Denmark’s parliament, Lidegaard’s draft bill has laid out plans to abolish the current ceiling of 6kW for solar power plants in order to encourage larger developments.
The proposal also includes cutting financial incentives by more than 50%.
The Danish government has set a goal of reaching 30% of renewable energy capacity by 2020, with overall energy independence to be gained by 2050.
Solar PV has not made a massive dent in Denmark’s renewables market. Small solar PV residential systems less than 6kW although not eligible for any FiTs are exempt from any energy taxes.
Energinet.dk has launched a research programme ForskVE, introduced in 2008, with the aim of supporting the growth and development of solar PV, wave power and biogasification. It has an annual funding budget of DKK 25 million (US$4.6 million).
For 2012, the future of ForskVE is undecided but the budget proposed has been set at US$23.5 million.
